This could be a step forward to address the reverse racism that has been allowed to proliferate unchecked and non-confronted. Now if he will recruit a few white players (or maybe Asian or Hispanic), we'll see how committed Alcorn State is to becoming a diverse university.

Not to get racial but it kind of seems to me like black players listen to white coaches more and look up to them a lote more.

How many black coaches have been put in an ideal situation where they could excel and help lead the way for future black coaches, only to screw it up with their arrogance, micro managing, and poor communication. For every Tony Dungy there's a Ray Rhodes, for every Mike Tomlin there's a Raheem Morris. For every Doc Rivers there's a Quinn Buckner, you get the drift. In college sports, it's more than X's and O's, you got to get to know the school, the community, and the surrounding areas. In places like Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State, you're on the clock 24/7. You're more than just the head coach, period. Eddie Robinson got that, that is why he is an icon to this day, with the Bear Bryant and Joe Paterno, though sadly today, there are some black people who don't know or care to know who Eddie Robinson is and some of them want to be football coaches, case and point the attendance at Grambling when he coached his last home game.

Case in point, how many black head coaches have won a super bowl or nat'l championship? 2 or 3? How many white coaches have?

How many black coaches are there in the NCAA-I ranks? How many black coaches are in the NFL. Many black assistants don't get opportunities to interview for head coaching jobs while the likes of Marty Morningwheg (sp?), who led the Lions to a winless season, Jack Del Rio, a career sub-.500 record, and Norv Turner get second chance after second chance after second chance. Not a lot of black head coaches have won national championships and Super Bowls because there aren't that many compared to their white counterparts. It's amazing you feel qualified to explain the black experience. Try again.

Chris Chase must have had a hand in writing this "non-story." Can't believe she made her way from Yahoo Sports to ESPN.

I'm pretty sure Alcorn State has its share of white students, even if it's a small amount. It's not like he will be the first white guy to ever step foot on this campus.

Does this mean that people who believe in HBCU are causing division as well...?

Race only becomes a topic when you mention it. When I look at this story, all I see is an underachieving football team changing coaches.
